Summary

A vulnerability in Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) authentication in the 
Cisco Nexus series could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to affect
the state of HSRP group members and cause black holing of traffic.

The vulnerability is due to incorrect parsing of malformed HSRP packets. An 
attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed HSRP packets to
bypass HSRP authentication. An exploit could allow the attacker to bypass HSRP
authentication and affect the state of active HSRP group members, causing them
to go to SPEAK state, which leads to black holing of traffic and causes a 
denial of service (DoS) condition.
